For Kinder & 1st:

No technology necessary activities:

  • ABC game: You can say the category of "food" (animals could be possible for K and 1st too), and then those around go back and forth through the alphabet saying the following letter. For example: "Apple, banana, carrot..."

  • Draw nature: Spot a flower you see near where you live. Draw it. Then, a few days later, draw it again. Repeat a few times, to see how that particular flower changes (or lasts).

  • "I spy" -have the person who spies describe something in the room or outside, using specific adjectives (big/small, rough, smooth, feathery).

For 2nd:

No technology necessary activities:

  • Unscramble: Can be played with family and friends, not just on school Zoom. Pick a category, and have 1 person write a word "scrambled" up, for others to have to guess the right word. e.g. category: nature word: craalac

  • Draw nature: Spot a flower you see near where you live. Draw it. Then, a few days later, draw it again. Repeat a few times, to see how that particular flower changes (or lasts).

For 3rd-5th:
